in a blender.

- Pour the almond mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a
medium-sized bowl. Using a spatula, stir and press the pulp that is caught
in the strainer, to extract as much milk as possible into the bowl.
- Discard the pulp left in the strainer, and store the milk in a sealed
container in the refrigerator.
- Almond Milk keeps for five days. It naturally separates, so shake well
before using.
